In the Autism Quotient questionnaire, there is this statement:
"When I'm reading a story, I can easily imagine what the characters might look like"
What if I always use faces that I know, for example actors from shows I've seen a lot? Sometimes I pick an actor to be a character after the first description of the character, then later they might say something about their looks that doesn't fit with the actor, and I'll kinda ignore it because I already decided who is playing that character.
To agree with the statement, should one be able to "build a face" in ones mind based on the information given?
Sometimes these things are so hard to answer when you don't know how other people work.
It's like the Harry potter books reading them when I was a kid I always pictured how'd they look in real life wasn't far off my judgement when they did launch the film's either. That's why I read Warhammer books 1st before I paint my armies so I can visualize how I'm going to paint them accordingly to the story I've just read then theme my chapter around the book.
